Daniel kept Renee up on her feet and followed the stretcher to the infirmary, where the doctor examined Emma again.In the end, the doctor merely announced, "Time of death…"Hearing that, Renee's mind went blank, and nothing seemed to register with her.All she could do was blame herself.Why? Why did she have to leave? What made her so confident that Martin would spare Emma's life?How could she be so stupid?!That was when Martin suddenly showed up and came rushing in, "What happened?! Where's Emma?! What—"Before he could finish, Renee's vision turned black as she passed out.-There was no telling how long had passed when Renee finally regained consciousness and found herself in an unfamiliar hospital room, thick with an almost stinging scent of medicine.Her mind was blank as she couldn't remember a thing, until she saw Daniel standing by her bed and Martin standing by the window.As her mind cleared up instantly and her memories returned, she asked feebly, "Where's

Seeing his hesitation, Renee snorted. "So much has happened. What more can break me now?"Daniel sighed and said, "You're pregnant… and I paid off the doctor, so that they don't tell your father.""I'm… pregnant?" Renee's eyes lit up, smiling despite feeling different emotions as she touched her own belly. "That's the best gift he's ever given me."She was pregnant! With Jasper's child!After Jasper's death, the baby was going to be the only heir with his blood.Following the death of so many loved ones, she felt like a soulless husk, but here came a ray of hope before she could fall apart.Looking out the window and into the distance, she wondered if Jasper could see her now.She felt her spirit coming back to her despite her earlier dejection, as she must live well and raise their child—her only family now!As for Martin, he was a demon just like Emma had said, and it disgusted Renee just to have his blood flowing in her veins.-Later, when Renee and Daniel alighted, they

Renee sniffed, her tears raining as her eyes met Jasper's.Springing to her feet and throwing her arms around his neck, she breathed, "I knew it—you're alive!"Jasper held her in turn, clearly feeling how much weight she'd lost despite her down jacket."Sorry for worrying you." He released her and kissed her hair, his thumbs wiping her tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't think Martin would come after your mother that soon."Renee shook her head as she studied Jasper from head to toe."It's not your fault… And it's good to have you back," she said and gave him a punch in his chest. "You're such a jerk! You're only showing up now? Did you know how worried I was?"Jasper smiled, letting her punch him all she wanted while replying, "Martin's not who you think he is. That plane crash was his and Yvie's joint effort, but I'd anticipated it… And I was hiding because I wanted to lure the one behind him out of hiding."Then, he hugged her so fiercely he could fuse them together right then. "That

On top of that, Renee wasn't sure how to act around Alison now that she knew Jasper was alive, and it made her feel guilty having to hide it from Alison."So what?!" Alison retorted, stamping her feet and shaking her hand off. "Is that more important than you?! Well, fine! Let's never call each other again since you don't think of me as a friend!""Alright, my bad, my bad. Just calm down." Renee quickly apologized, seeing that Alison was about to leave. "Just sit—there's something very important I have to tell you.""What?" Alison paused, turning to shoot her a sideways glare.They had been best friends for over a decade and were no different from twins, and she really wasn't that upset—she just didn't like Renee keeping her in the dark and wanted to get it off her chest."Come here, sit." Renee said, patting her bed."Hmph!" Alison pouted but sat. "Be quick about it. I'll be going right after.""Really?""Or what? It's like I'm not your friend, so why should I stay? So you can

Renee stared at Quinton, intent on gauging his reaction for a lie, but she was soon disappointed.Quint was clearly telling the truth.Resting her palms on Quinton's desk, she frowned slightly at the man and said, "I don't get you."It was the truth, and she could gauge his motives even less so."That's good." Quinton smiled and shrugged. "I'm not as plain as a sheet—wouldn't it make me look dumb if you could see through me so easily?"Renee couldn't deny it, but her phone rang before she could speak.Her expression turned solemn when she saw that it was Martin, and she stepped out to the hallway before answering, "Dad?"Heaven knew how much it hurt her to call Martin 'Dad', but she had no choice but to keep up the act."Where are you? There's something I'd like to discuss," Martin said."I'm in my office. Where are you? I'll head over," Renee replied. "Alright. I'll be waiting at West Coast Cafe."Having decided on a place, Renee picked up her bag from her office and drove
